A Ride Down a flume.

The Chico (Cal.) Enterprise, says -
A. G. Mason left the mills at II o'clock
the other day on a raft in the hume for
ride to Chico. He expected to make
the trip in three and half hours, but
met with several thrilling mishaps that
DELAYED him until after dark and effect
ua!ly cured him for raft ride to Chico.
The ride for the first Is miles was novel
and orand-scenery as magnificent as
any in Sierra Nevadas. But when the
raft struck the deep canons and noun
TAIN oorges, with the fume stretched
along like silyery thread from the
bottom, the ride began to take on
dangers. for the lumber that had been
shipped in the morning was here met
with. and the real trouble commenced.
In one of the deep cuts the Y box ran
on to board, Impending the raft and
throwing Bert high in the air, In fall
mo he grasped a small board nailed to
the flme and hung suspended 5O feet
from the bottom of the canon. Bert
having but one arm, found himself IN q
dangerous position, and, to add to his
horror the board ne was hanging on be-
can to break. About 20 feet below him
was a small platform between the jolsts,
so. lust as the board gave way, Bert
SWING ont, let 90 his hold, and dropped.
He struck the platform, but the rebound
threw him 30 feet to the bottom OF the
canon, striking on his shoulder and the
side Of his face. He was stunned for a
moment, but caught the raft. When u
miles from Chico he was again thrown,
INIT this time be struck in the tiume,
With d narrow escape from drowning
As soon as he got out Bert concluded
that he did not want any more raft
riding and walked the remaining y
miles to town, arriving ut 1870 o'clock.
